The magic of Folklore shines through in our reversible Bird of Peace dress, letting your style reflect the beauty of the artistic journey. Our Folklore collection is a whimsical tribute to the Arts & Crafts movement, inviting you to step into a fairytale world where creativity knows no bounds. Inspired by the concept of “non-finito,” or art in progress, each piece in this collection celebrates the beauty of imperfection.
The Bird of Peace print, meticulously hand-stitched by fiber artist Kim Donohoe using single-ply thread, captures the intricate details of plumage with stunning precision. The background panels of this dress are sourced from unfinished works by British artist William Morris, dating back to 1885. Morris's original pencil sketch lines, intentionally left visible, serve as a testament to the profound beauty found in the artistic process. We've preserved these incomplete designs to honor the journey of creation, celebrating the inherent charm of imperfection.
What sets this dress apart is its versatility—it's reversible! Whether you choose to showcase the bird on the front or back, you'll make a statement wherever you go. However, it's worth noting that the soft bamboo/wood viscose fabric used in this dress has a slight sheerness. For added coverage, we recommend wearing a full or half-slip underneath.
